We are in agreement, but I'll stop at faulting the author of the article for making such arguments. We agree that it's an obvious obfuscation to say it is because of Al Jazeera that americans are turned against. Even though the author admits that Al Jazeera does nothing unethical except be *too unsanitized* in its portrayal of certain atrocities.

If you want to go further and say that the author is just reflecting american culture as a whole, well....
